Chapter 462: trend
"Steel Refining" is equivalent to opening a new chapter after the "Emissary of the East".
This kind of "newness" is not only the end of an old plot, but the arrival of a new plot also lies in the addition of new characters.
Xingguo’s model is Huaxia, both in composition and clothing, are very consistent with the ancient Huaxia in District 11 comics. But there are also differences. Although Fu Ye and Lan Fang wear theatrical masks, both their movements and weapons are somewhat biased towards zone 11. Therefore, Shen Xin also modified the images of the two people to make them more imagery. Prefers China.
After three consecutive words, the progress of the story is very smooth, and the biggest conflict is the duel between the Elric brothers and Lan Fang and Fu Ye.
The ranking of the small book "Steel Refining" is very stable, closely following "game", but in the hot list, "Steel Refining" and subsequent works have shrunk at a very fast rate.
Shen Xin didn't care too much about this. For him, this ranking is not without benefits, but it only represents the popularity on the Internet, not the quality of the work.
It is precisely because of this that the momentum of "Sirius" is so fierce, sitting around and watching three, the target is directly at the third place "Steel Refining".
Duoman.com’s influence on "cf" is also regionally stable. Starting from the 38th issue, it has been fluctuating around 4.6 million and declining by 600,000 copies a month. For a magazine, it can be called an avalanche, but it can also go. The good thing is, that is, the erosion of online comics to magazines has reached a bottleneck period. Perhaps the paper magazines will show signs of recovery in the future.
This is not bad news for "icfuture".
However, at the same time, the magazine has an unpleasant news-"The Legend of the Dragon King" will end in the 40th issue of the magazine.
Although everyone in the editorial department knew the news, when this day came, every editor—especially Jia Hui—feeled sad and helpless.
This not only symbolizes the end of an era, but also shows that one day in the future, the magazine will face the multi-man network with Wang Yunze, which may have a greater impact on "icfuture".
Although Wang Yunze was destined to leave, out of respect for him, the magazine gave the cover and front page color pages to "The Legend of the Dragon King" and conducted an exclusive interview with it. Wang Yunze also said a lot of beautiful words about "icfuture", and it is hard to see that the magazine and Wang Yunze will part ways, or even rival each other.
The departure of Wang Yunze means that an era of "icfuture" has ended. In the future, the magazine will enter the "Era of Queen Yunze" or "Era of No King Yunze".
In the end, who will become the new helmsman of the big ship "icfuture", the opinions in the magazine are very unified, nothing more than Shen Xin or Ye Hexu.
"Hunting Abyss" is in the off-period, and even if it is serialized, no one can be sure of the follow-up length of "Hunting Abyss". Therefore, Shen Xin and "Steel Making" are in an advantageous position.
This is also the consensus within the magazine.
As the focus of the editors, Shen Xin has no such will, nor does he want to be the helmsman of "icfuture"-this kind of honor is more like a shackle to him. When he wants to make a choice, he will He appeared in front of him and stipulated that he could not do certain things, otherwise he would be sorry for the magazine.
He knows that he may get a lot of resources because of this honor, but in comparison, he prefers to make his own decisions, rather than being limited to people or organizations and having to make a choice.
Of course, these matters are not clear, and the two sides are also very satisfied with the current cooperation.
At the end of "The Legend of the Dragon King", the magazine's sales exceeded 4.8 million copies for an unprecedented breakthrough. Many people who grew up watching "The Legend of the Dragon King" choose to buy a magazine, which can be regarded as watching "The Legend of the Dragon King" leave. , On the hot list, "The Legend of the Dragon King" beat "game" and reached the top again.
At the same time, readers are also discussing Wang Yunze's whereabouts, whether he will create long comics; if he does, whether he will stay in "icfuture".
Because the contract between Wang Yunze and "icfuture" has not yet ended, neither party has announced that Wang Yunze will leave.
Don’t worry too much. Creating comics is not about making dumplings. It’s impossible that the next one will come out as soon as one is finished.
Considering that after the completion of the new work, Wang Yunze will take a rest for a while and go to the hospital to see his minor illnesses.
Wang Yunze’s answer is about half a year before the work will come out.
"...In other words, within this year, we cannot use Teacher Wang Yunze for publicity." At the internal meeting of Duoman.com, Tong Yu emphatically said to the editor-in-chief and other persons in charge of Duoman.com, "Moreover, Since the contract between Mr. Wang and "icfuture" has not expired, we have no way to announce that Mr. Wang will join Duoman.com next year."
"So...but now the traffic of Duoman.com is only average. Although the seven free comics have a good response among the readers, the update speed of other comics is too slow. As a result, the advantage of the website is not as big as we imagined. "A middle-aged man said.
This person's name is Qian Sheng, and he was originally the editor-in-chief of a second-tier magazine in District 11. After Tong Yu talked with him, Qian Sheng immediately expressed interest, hoping to get in touch with web comics.
"what reason?"
"The cartoonists cannot get enough protection. I think the minimum 80 yuan manuscript fee is too low... We must at least solve the worries for the author."
"How much do you think?"
"200, of course, in order to ensure profit, we can increase the standard of income manuscripts." Qian Sheng replied.
"In this way, what is the difference between us and the magazine?" Tong Yu frowned, rubbing his chin, "This way...you go to classify the works, the qualified works start at 200 yuan, if the painting skills are slightly poor, but If the story is new or suitable for TV adaptation, then start at 80 yuan."
"Why do you want to set up a piece of 80 yuan file?" Qian Sheng puzzled.
"As long as it is'meat', I want it to rot in the pot." Tong Yu said with a smile, "As long as there is one'baby' in a hundred comics, we will earn it."
Merchants ~lightnovelpub.net~ just want to be big and small.
It is better to have "baby", even if there is no "baby", he will not suffer too much.
"In addition, there is also a library. After all, we don't have enough content, and we don't have a finished comic. Once the freshness of watching is over, readers can easily return to paper magazines."
"Well, don't worry about this." Tong Yu took out the tablet, swiped twice, sent a form to Qian Sheng through the mailbox, "I will give you a form, which is the copyright of the comics we purchased. The first batch of 50 copies will be cooperated with other magazines in the future. This batch of comics is being sorted out, and I expect that it should be uploaded to the Internet by November - in addition, the second batch will be uploaded in January next year."
Qian Sheng was taken aback, but he didn't expect Tong Yu to have a second hand.
"In addition, next year, I am going to organize a prize collection with a total prize of 5 million. At that time, whether to send one cartoon or five cartoons, please discuss it carefully." Tong Yu smiled.
Qian Sheng once again looked at Tong Yu in surprise, and Tong Yu and Feng Shuo Media entered the arena. I am afraid it is not as simple as playing twice.
